HexaHQ vs Claude Teams: who governs what the AI does.
Claude Teams gives your org shared billing, shared projects, and an admin Capabilities console. What it does not give you is control over what the AI actually does in your systems, per person, in a way a non-technical teammate can reuse. That is the part HexaHQ is.
HexaHQ is additive: you install the HexaHQ connector inside Claude Chat, Claude Cowork, or Claude Code, and it works the same way in ChatGPT and Codex. This is not "leave Claude," it is "make what Claude can do in your systems shared, governed, and provable," and still usable when someone on your team works somewhere else.
The seam Claude's own admins are asking Anthropic to fix
There is an open, unresolved issue on anthropics/claude-code asking that when an admin adds a
custom MCP connector on Claude Teams, they be able to assign it to specific team members rather than the
whole org. That is the per-person-keyed connector model, requested as a feature against Claude itself.
HexaHQ ships it today: a connector is shared once, but each person connects with their own credential and
acts as themselves, so the approval gate and audit trail carry real identity.
Static project files vs. dynamically resolved knowledge
In Claude Teams, giving the AI context means creating a shared Project and hand-maintaining the markdown files (CLAUDE.md, project docs) that describe how your team works. Those files decay as the real process drifts. HexaHQ has no equivalent step: when you ask, it resolves the right knowledge and capabilities for the intent at that moment, from knowledge that accumulates on its own as people work.
| Claude Teams | HexaHQ | |
|---|---|---|
| Unit of governance | On/off toggle per capability class | Per capability: allow / ask / deny |
| Assign a connector to specific people | Open feature request | Yes, keyed per person |
| Non-technical teammate runs a shared setup | No first-class path | Click a link, sign in, go |
| Where logins are held | Org connector holds access | Out-of-band, server-side, per person, never in chat |
| Audit of what the AI did | Not per action | Full timeline, on whose authority |
| Turn any API into a tool, no server | Bring your own MCP server | The AI authors it, you host nothing |
| Team context | Hand-maintained project files | Resolved dynamically, stays current |
Where Claude Teams is the right tool
For shared chat, projects, and seat management, Claude Teams is exactly what you want, and HexaHQ runs inside it. The Capabilities console decides which capability classes your org may use; HexaHQ governs the individual capabilities and what actually happens each time the AI acts. Coarse platform gate on top, fine-grained control underneath.
Govern what your AI does, per person.
